Kim, Candice and Austin our thoughts and prayers are, truly, with you and the rest of your family. I have been speechless for a few days, because I stopped to talk with John, Jr. earlier on Saturday. May GOD bless the Kelly family!!

I have had the pleasure of knowing the Kelly family for over 10 years now and they are all extremely good people. John Kelly,Jr is now in heaven with his father (John Kelly,Sr) who passed away late last summer from a long battle with cancer. Please pray for Kim, Candyse and Austin in the coming days and months. We love you all!!

You'll be highly missed. My prayers are with your family, and may the Good Lord comfort every members of your family. John is a very nice, charming, and dedicated employee. The staff at CDU will surely miss u a lot. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace, amen.
